On April 17, 2007, the Benton County Republican Women arranged for Charles Wiley, from Accuracy in Media (AIM), to speak at their district meeting and also arranged for him to speak on campus through the OSU College Republicans. AIM is a media watchdog. Wiley reported that there was a huge ticker-tape parade to welcome the soldiers home from Vietnam. It was a full-blown celebration that wound through Manhattan and ended up at Times Square. The crowd was estimated at 750,000 well-wishers. Did you know that? We were stunned. The mainstream media was silent... and they shaped the news through omission, in this case. Thank you to all who are serving now, and to all who have served our great country. A belated thank you to our Vietnam Veterans, who --for so long-- felt unappreciated for their service.
